Question

A bag contains 5kg of rice.1500gm have been taken out for cooking.what is the ratio of the amount taken out to the amount left in the bag?

Answer 1

Given:

A bag contains rice= 5 kg = 5 × 1000= 5000 g

[ 1kg = 1000g]

Rice taken out for cooking= 1500 g

Amount left in the bag = rice in the bag - Rice taken out for cooking

Amount left in the bag = 5000 -1500= 3500 g

Ratio of the amount taken out to the amount left in the bag= 1500:3500
= 15:35= 3:7

Ratio of the amount taken out to the amount left in the bag= 3: 7

Answer 2

To find out first of all convert the 5 kg to grams 
as we know that 1 kg contain 1000 grams so 5 kg will have= 5*1000 =5000 grams 
So the bag of rice contain the 5000 grams
 rice which was taken for cooking was =1500 grams
So the remaining rice in bag will be = 5000 - 1500 = 3500 grams.tio
the ratio amount taken and remaining rice in bag= 1500:3500
So just by simplify                                                  =3:7       
so the the ratio of amount taken from bag to the remaining rice will be 3:7 which will be our answer
